Coach Talk

Justin Fields
Listen, Justin Fields, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to roll out a starter with negative points (the New England Patriots defense) while still earning the W.
Ed's Excellent Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Matt Prater might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
